Vienna, Solo travel
Stopped here for two days on a longer solo train trip through Eastern Europe and had an amazing time! Loved (and highly recommend) the cafe culture. Bring a book and relax. There’s no pressure to leave. Actually getting my server to bring my check so I could pay and leave was challenging lol Wonderful people with an easy to navigate metro system. Go to a classical concert and ride the world’s oldest Ferris wheel!

Graz
I think as a local, that Graz is very safe, only at Night in some Parks you Need to take care of drugdealers. The Area around postgarage is a Little Bit creepy as a Woman.

I am a student studying abroad in Vienna, and I have never felt safer in a city before. I have walked alone at night and felt very safe by my school (District 1) and where I live (District 5). I heard the area around Ottakring can be dangerous at night, so I have never been there. Of course, still be on alert when traveling solo, but overall the districts close to the center of the city are extremely safe.

Let's say its 90% safe, but for sure like every other places at night still be aware. It also depends where you are in valleys/ villages the rate is lower compared to bigger cities like Innsbruck. At daylight you can feel 99% safe..

About me
Hey everyone! I'm Sophia, living in Vienna and always up for good chats, random adventures, and coffee that turns into plans. My first solo trip was in 2017 — five months across Oceania and Asia. I came back with sand in my backpack, a mild addiction to rice dishes, and an even stronger addiction to exploring new places. 🌍 I love nature, city walks, and laughing at my own bad sense of direction. I’m that clumsy person who somehow stumbles over her own feet, but also into the best spots and events. ☀ Always up for meeting new people from all over the world, trying new restaurants, learning about different cultures and sharing laughs and stories. 💚

About me
Heyy! I’m Aylin, 24 years old, and I quit my job in August 2024 to travel the world.🌍 I’m always curious about new countries and cultures. I’m a nature lover, a foodie, and always up for a little adventure! So far, this journey has brought me some unforgettable moments—like seeing Angkor Wat in real life or diving with sharks in the Philippines. But honestly, my favorite memories come from the amazing locals I’ve met along the way, who welcomed me into their everyday lives and gave me a deeper understanding of their culture.✨ I’m a mix of adventure-seeker and quiet soul. I love meaningful conversations and genuine connections, though I’m also quite introverted and appreciate some quiet time now and then. Partys and alcohol are not my thing. I’d describe myself as empathetic, respectful, easygoing, and tidy. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded travelers!🌞

Born and raised in the Tyrolean mountains 🏔️ Skiing, nature, and quiet moments at home are where I feel most myself. I love to travel, explore, and be inspired — but my heart always pulls me back to the mountains. I’m a girls’ girl and, while I don’t travel solo very often, I’m happy to open my home to women traveling alone — a friendly place to connect, exchange stories, and feel welcome.
